“…Although the advantages and disadvantages of battery and hydrogen fuel cell technologies have been identified and discussed elsewhere (IEA 2004;King 2007;Bandivadekar, Bodek et al 2008;Bandivadekar, Cheah et al 2008;IEA 2008;King 2008;Tollefson 2008;McKinsey 2010) there is inadequate awareness of the strong synergies between them in road vehicle applications.…”

This is a pre-print version of: Offer, G.J., et al., Techno-economic and behavioural analysis of battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid vehicles in a future sustainable road transport system in the UK. Energy Policy (2011Policy ( ), doi:10.1016Policy ( /j.enpol.2011 AbstractThis paper conducts a techno-economic study on hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCV), battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEV) in the UK using cost predictions for 2030. The study includes an analysis of data on distance currently travelled by private car users daily in the UK. Results show that there may be diminishing economic returns for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) with battery sizes above 20 kWh, and the optimum size for a PHEV battery is between 5-15 kWh. Differences in behaviour as a function of vehicle size are demonstrated, which decreases the percentage of miles that can be economically driven using electricity for a larger vehicle. Decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by 80% favours larger optimum battery sizes as long as carbon is priced, and will reduce emissions considerably. However, the model does not take into account reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from hydrogen generation, assuming hydrogen will still be produced from steam reforming methane in 2030.

“…The challenge of meeting the fuel economy targets is defined by both the magnitude and the timing of these requirements. Doubling the fuel economy by 2030 is also challenging, but more feasible since the auto industry will have more lead time to respond (Bandivadekar et al 2008). Potential future car technologies include varied energy sources and materials, which are being developed in order to make automobiles more energy efficient with reduced regulated emissions (Bandivadekar et al 2008;Cheah et al 2009;Heywood 2010;Kromer et al 2010;Cheah and Heywood 2011;Bastani et al 2012).…”

Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is a simulation‐driven design approach that employs multiscale‐multiphysics modeling and is based on the understanding of process–structure–property–performance relationships. The ICME approach has attracted considerable attention in the automotive industry, considering that it significantly reduces development cost and time in optimization of materials and processes through computational advancement. This study presents a comprehensive review of ICME activities in advanced automotive manufacturing technology, which focuses on the life cycle of the automotive body structure such as structural material design, manufacturing process optimization, and reliability improvement in service quality. Results show that the ICME approach has been widely implemented in automotive manufacturing processes, from development of lightweight materials to performance management. However, further advances and technological strategies should be sought to develop more robust methodologies that can replace conventional experiment‐based design approaches.
